TO.MOrrOw's Election.


the ouigt excitement becomes more in
tsrse and the situation is discussed
more earnestly and largely by the two
opposing parties. That the election
will be an important one none can
deny. Tomorrow will decide which Of
the two powers shall have the control
Of the municipal government Of Ogden
City for the next two years. The
struggle of tomorrow will be decided
by the number of votes polled. and
every legal voter of Ogden City should
calmly and deliberately consider the
situation and then walk up to the polls
and deposit his vote for the class OF
men whom be honestly believes ca
pable Of managing the affairs of the
city to the best advantage; they should
vote for the men in whom they have
greatest confidence; they should see
that the party that has the best princi-
pies is placed in the positions that are
to be f led ~ the votes of the people.
As the occasion is one Of grave import
ance, the legal voters OF Ogden City
should use every leg innate endeavor
to see that no person who is not legally
entitled TO vote is permitted to have
any voice in selecting the men who are
to administer the affairs of the city for
the ensuing two years.
Were you a stakeholder in a manu-.
featuring or mercantile concern, would
you permit person who held no stock
and who had no material interest in the
welfare OF the concern to have a single
word to say as 10 what class as men
should manage the concern? Were
you a member of clHb, would you not
protest against non-member SAYING
anything about who should preside at
the meetings OF yOurclub? Would you
not justly consider that any person who
held no right or interest in the matter,
and who would attempt to vote at an
election OF managers of corpo-
ration in which you owned stock
possessed the most supreme and colos-
sal cheek to try to have voice in saying
what men should or should not have
itAe management of your affairs? As iti
Is With individual affairs, so it is with
tne affairs of city or State The law
lusuy provides who may and who may
not participate in the selection of public |
servants, and any individual who has
..,nIe orazen efrontery to attempt 10 vote
Illegally should be subjected to the
severe penalties which the law Justly |
I1Gicts upon such dishonest impudence. |
